In capturing Gen. Walker and his command after tbev h-..i lnni dedn. the soil of Nicaragua, Commodoro lauiuing uas,m my opinion, committod a gravo errors. It is quite evident, howevor, from tho communications herewith transmitted, that this was; dono from pure and oatri. otio motives, and in tho sincere conviction that he .was i promoting tho interests nml vin dicating the horlor of his country. . ,In regard to Nicaragua, she has sustained no hliury by tho act of Commodore I'anldin".. This has.jn.urcd to her benefit, and relieved .her..froin:ift dreaded invasion. She nhm-. would havo any right to complain of thn vin. latioo of hqr. territory, and is- is quite certain she. will -never .exoi-ciso this right.' It does noi no ii AHorouuin ot ner invaders to complain, jn. her name She hasbeccn rescued by Commodoro .Paulding from their assaults Tho error of this gallant officer consists in exceeding his. instructions and landint? his sail. ors.ond marines in Nicaragua, whether with or without her consent for the purposo of ma- wiig n ,u- upuii any military iorce whatcvor, which he. might find in the country, no -nut' lor from whence thoy camo. This powor cer tainly did not belong to him. ' Obedience to mo law and conformity to instructions aro the Dest and sales', guides lor all oiheors, civil and military, and when they transcend theso limits nnd act upon their own responsibility, ovil -.uiinviineiieu-t hiiiiu.-h inevitably lollow. Under theso circumstancoR, when Marshal Ryn-ders presented himself nt tho Stato Department on tho 20th ult., with Gen. Wulkor in custody, the Secretary informed him that the Executive Department of the Government did not recognise Gen. Walker as a prisoner; that it had no directions to givo Concerning him, and that it is only through the action of the Judiciary that ho could. bo lawfully held in custody to answer any charges that might be brought against him. In thus far disapproving the conduct of Commodoro Paulding, no iuferonco must bo drawn that I am less determined than I have ever been lo executo tho neutrality laws of the United States. This is my imporativo duty, and I shall continue to perform it by all the means wliich tlio Consti-tution and tho laws have placed in mv power My opinion of tho value and importance of these laws corresponds entirely with that cv. pressed by Mr. Monroe, in his message to Congress of December 17th, 1810. That wise, prudent and patriotic statesman says it is of tlio highest importance to our national character, and indispensable to the morality of our citizens, that all violations of our neutrality laws should be prevented. No door should bo left open for tho evasion ofour laws noopportunity-afforded to .any one who maybe disposed to take advantage of it to compromise tho interest or honor of tho nation. The crimo of sotting on foot or providing, the means for military expeditions, within the United States, to make w.ar against a foreign Stato with which wo aro at peace, is ono of un aggravated character, and early engaged tlio attention of Congress. ' Whether tho executive government possesses any or what power under tho constitution, independently of Congress, to prevent or punish this and similar offenses nuainst tho laws of nations, is a sub ject which engaged the attention of our most eminent statesmen in the timo of tho Admin istration of General Washington, ami on the occasion of, the French Revolution. lueactol Congress ol the 5th or June, 1791, fortunately removed all tho difficulties of this question which had. "heretofore existed. The nun ana tseveiun sections oi mis act wuicli relate to the prosent question aro the samo in substance with tho (sixth and eighth sections of tho act of April, 1813, and have now been jn force for. a period of moro than sixty years. ine military expedition rendered crmiiual by this act must have its origin, must begin, or be set On foot, in the United States; but the great object of tho law was to savo foreign states, with whom we were at peace, from the ravages of these lawless expeditions proceeding from Our shores. ' , ' .The' Seventh section alono. therefore, which simply defines the Crimo and its punishment, would have been inadequate to accomplish the purpose and enforce our international duties. In order to render the law effectual, it was necessary to prevent the carrying on of such expeditions to their consummation before they had succeeded in leaving..our .shores. This has been dqno effectually and in clear and explicit language, in the authority givon to the President under the eighth section of tho set to employ the land and naval forces of tho United States for 'the purpose of preventing the carrying n'of any such expeditions or enterprises from the territories or jurisdiction of the United States against the territories or domain of any foreign prince or Stato, or of any colony, district, or people, with whom the United States are at peace. For these reasons, bad Commodore Tauld- 185S. ing intercepted tho steamer Fashion, with Gen. Walker and his command on board, at any penou uciore tnoy entered the port of Han Juan do Nicaragua, and conducted them back to Aiobilo, ho would havo prevented them from carrying on the expedition, and have been not only a justifiable but a praiseworthy act. Tho crime well deserves tho scvoro punishment inflicted upon It by our laws. It violates tho principles of Christianity, morality, and Immunity, held sacred by ajl tho civilized nations, and by nono inoro than by tho people of tho United States. Disguise it ns we may. such a military ox. pedition is an invitation to reckless and lawless mon to enlist under tho banner of any adventurer to rob. nlundor. and murder tbo nn. offending citizens of neighboring Slates who havo never done them barm, it is "onusur-pation of the war-makinc rower which Im. longs alono to Congress; and tho Government at least in the estimation of the world, becomes an accomplice in the commission of this crime, unless it adopts all the means necessary to prevent and punish it. It would bo Inr belter, and moro in accordance with tho Imhl and manly character of ourcountrynien.for tho uuiviuuiuiii. iisuu 10 get up sucu expeditions, than to allow them to proceed under the com. maud or irresponsible adventureis. Wo cq'd then, at lonst, exercise some control over our own agency, and prevent them from burning down cities and committing olherocts of enor-mity of which we have read. Tho avowed principle wliich lies at the foundation of tho law of nations is contained in tho Divine command, that all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Tried by this unerring rule wo should bo severely condemned if we shall not uso tho best exertions to arrest such . peditions against our feeble sister Republic of . icarugiia. ' One thing is very certain that the pcoplo never existed who would call any other nation to a stricter account than wo should ourselves, for tolerating lawless expeditions from their shores to make war upon any portion of our territories. By tolera'ing such expeditions, wo shall soon lose the high character which we havo .enjoyed ever sinco tho days of Washington for tho frithful performance of international obligations and duties, and inspire distrust, against us omonc the of tho great family of civilized nations. ' lint it motive ol duty were not sufficient to restrain us from engaging in such lawless enterprises, evident interest ought to dictate this policy. Theso expeditions aro tho most effectual made of retarding American progress, although to promote is the avowed object of the leaders and contributors in such undertakings.It is, beyond quesiion, the destiny of our race to spread themselves over tho continent of North America, ai d this at no distant day, should events be permitted to tako their nut-ural course ; the tide ol emigration will flow to: tho South and North, and nothing can eventually arrest its progress, if permitted to go there peacofully. - Central Amorica will soon contain an American population, which will confer blessings and benefits, as well up. on the natives as their respective governments Liberty, under the restraints of law, will pro-servo domestic peace, whilst tho different transit routes across tho Isthmus in which wo are so deeply interested will have assured pro-cction.Nothing has retarded this happy condition or affairs so much as tho unlawful expeditions wliich havo boon fitted out in the United States to make war upon tho Central Ameri can citizons who havo miserably perished in the first disastrous expedition of Gen. Walker, j settled in Nicaragua us neaccfnl mni.mi.ti' i tho object which we all desire would ere this havo been in a great degree accomplished. i nese expeditions have caused tho people of uiu M-uirui jiiuoneiin states to regard us wiih dread and suspicion. It is our policy to remove this apprehension and conviueo them that weinlond to do them good and not evil. We desiro, as tho leading power on this continent, to open, and, if need bo, to protect every transit routo across Iho Isthmus, not only for our own benefit, but that of tho world, and thus open a frco access to Central Amorica, and through it to our Pacific possessions. This pjlicy was commenced under favorable auspices, when tho expedition under tho commrnd ol Gen. Walker escaped from our territories, and proceeded to Puntas Arenas. Should anothcrcxpedition ofa similar character again evade the vigilance of our nlli,.nr and proceed to Nicaragua this would bo fahil, ut least for a season, to tho ucaeuful seiiln. ment of thoso countries, and to the policy of American progress. The truth is. no Admin istration can successfully conduct the foreign affairs of tho country, in Central America or any whoro else, if it is to be interfered with at every step by lawless military expeditions set on lout in tho United States. JAMES BUCHANAN. January 7, 1853. Qccchcrlsm ou tho Hi-.o1 We find tho following under tho head of Brooklyn items, in tho local columns of tlio New York Tribune of tho 7th: Annual Pkw Rkntixci .t Mr. Beecikii's Church. The powsof the Plymouth congregational Church, Brooklyn, of which tho Rev. Henry W arc! Ucecher is pastor, wore publicly ren:ed, on Tuesday evening, for tho ensuing yonr. A largo nuuibcrof persons wore present, sufficient to fill three fourths of the house, and the occasion was one of no little animation ami interest from the friendly comiictition of pur chasers. According to tho modo of renting which is pursued, the pews throughout the entire building (with the exception ofa frco second gallery,) have a specified valuation, determined from year lo year by tho Trustees ; and the choice of pews is sold at auction, to the highest bidder for a premium above the rent I Tho scale of valuation this year wss only a trifle higher than last, but the amount of premiums, notwithstanding the hardness of tho times, roso one third byhtr than at any former piriod in the history of the church. Nearly ovory pew in tho building (with the single exception mentioned) brought a premium or an extra sum for the privilege of the choice ; in addition to wliich many of the chairs that have been recently introduced into the aisles wore sold at a premium, and a still larger number rented at their nssoseJ rate. 1 he lnghest pri ced pews or thoso valued at $100 or more, were about twenty in number, bringing an av erage premium of between $ 10 snd $ jO. The the highest premium Soo. 1 he total number 1 . . . . . ' .... . ' . : of pows in tho house, exclusivoof tho free gal- lery,is 208, which wero assessed last year to the aggregate amount of $H,UHO, and this year to $12,U00 ; on which the total atqount of premi- urns last year was S J.lnJ! ncretfed this year to $1,250. On Tue-ulay night the pows were so readily laltcn that alter the public sale was ovsr, it was found that out of the en- a re number assessed to a total of $12,00, only ti very few, to the value of less than $200, were without purchasers; and yesterday these were mostly taken and a large number of api li- NO. 10. cants ineml wore unable to obtain sittings. The membership of Plymouth Church was novor so largo as at the present, ami the si.a of the congregation remains undiminished. ' The building admits of an audience of about three thousand persons, yet it is not an uncommon occurronco, on a pleasent Sunday evening, to sco fully as largo a number as this go away from tho church door, unnblo to got evenstanding-room within the walls. Senator DoukIiiV Lamt Chance, Tho Richmond South of Saturday, speaking for tho party which enjoys exclusivo control of the President and his policy, closes an arti- clo on the Kansas question by offering the fol lowing alternative to tlio rebellious Senator from Illinois ; " Whatovcrmaybo thought, on thissurvor. of tho ominous import of the Kansas contro versy as it affects the peace of tho Union, we must admit that it has assumed the phase of all others most favorable to the interests of the South. Tho question is narrowed dowu to the siinplo alternative of peace or violence of law or ruffianism of a submission to the authority of a legitimate government or a resort te revolution. It is impossible to evade the issue. Senator Douglas will vainly essay to escape u:;der tho cover of nn 'enabling bill.' The expedient is too late, for Kansas is no longer a territory it is a sovereign State. Whoie will Senator Douglas go? Will ho unite with the traitors of Kansas rather than agree to (head-mission of another Slave Stato? Or, will he espouse tho interests of law nnd justice at tho sacrifice of his sympathy with black Republi- cansism ? Ho must make tho olectioii it once."

In capturing Gen. Walker and his command after tbev h-..i lnni dedn. the soil of Nicaragua, Commodoro lauiuing uas,m my opinion, committod a gravo errors. It is quite evident, howevor, from tho communications herewith transmitted, that this was; dono from pure and oatri. otio motives, and in tho sincere conviction that he .was i promoting tho interests nml vin dicating the horlor of his country. . ,In regard to Nicaragua, she has sustained no hliury by tho act of Commodore I'anldin".. This has.jn.urcd to her benefit, and relieved .her..froin:ift dreaded invasion. She nhm-. would havo any right to complain of thn vin. latioo of hqr. territory, and is- is quite certain she. will -never .exoi-ciso this right.' It does noi no ii AHorouuin ot ner invaders to complain, jn. her name She hasbeccn rescued by Commodoro .Paulding from their assaults Tho error of this gallant officer consists in exceeding his. instructions and landint? his sail. ors.ond marines in Nicaragua, whether with or without her consent for the purposo of ma- wiig n ,u- upuii any military iorce whatcvor, which he. might find in the country, no -nut' lor from whence thoy camo. This powor cer tainly did not belong to him. ' Obedience to mo law and conformity to instructions aro the Dest and sales', guides lor all oiheors, civil and military, and when they transcend theso limits nnd act upon their own responsibility, ovil -.uiinviineiieu-t hiiiiu.-h inevitably lollow. Under theso circumstancoR, when Marshal Ryn-ders presented himself nt tho Stato Department on tho 20th ult., with Gen. Wulkor in custody, the Secretary informed him that the Executive Department of the Government did not recognise Gen. Walker as a prisoner; that it had no directions to givo Concerning him, and that it is only through the action of the Judiciary that ho could. bo lawfully held in custody to answer any charges that might be brought against him. In thus far disapproving the conduct of Commodoro Paulding, no iuferonco must bo drawn that I am less determined than I have ever been lo executo tho neutrality laws of the United States. This is my imporativo duty, and I shall continue to perform it by all the means wliich tlio Consti-tution and tho laws have placed in mv power My opinion of tho value and importance of these laws corresponds entirely with that cv. pressed by Mr. Monroe, in his message to Congress of December 17th, 1810. That wise, prudent and patriotic statesman says it is of tlio highest importance to our national character, and indispensable to the morality of our citizens, that all violations of our neutrality laws should be prevented. No door should bo left open for tho evasion ofour laws noopportunity-afforded to .any one who maybe disposed to take advantage of it to compromise tho interest or honor of tho nation. The crimo of sotting on foot or providing, the means for military expeditions, within the United States, to make w.ar against a foreign Stato with which wo aro at peace, is ono of un aggravated character, and early engaged tlio attention of Congress. ' Whether tho executive government possesses any or what power under tho constitution, independently of Congress, to prevent or punish this and similar offenses nuainst tho laws of nations, is a sub ject which engaged the attention of our most eminent statesmen in the timo of tho Admin istration of General Washington, ami on the occasion of, the French Revolution. lueactol Congress ol the 5th or June, 1791, fortunately removed all tho difficulties of this question which had. "heretofore existed. The nun ana tseveiun sections oi mis act wuicli relate to the prosent question aro the samo in substance with tho (sixth and eighth sections of tho act of April, 1813, and have now been jn force for. a period of moro than sixty years. ine military expedition rendered crmiiual by this act must have its origin, must begin, or be set On foot, in the United States; but the great object of tho law was to savo foreign states, with whom we were at peace, from the ravages of these lawless expeditions proceeding from Our shores. ' , ' .The' Seventh section alono. therefore, which simply defines the Crimo and its punishment, would have been inadequate to accomplish the purpose and enforce our international duties. In order to render the law effectual, it was necessary to prevent the carrying on of such expeditions to their consummation before they had succeeded in leaving..our .shores. This has been dqno effectually and in clear and explicit language, in the authority givon to the President under the eighth section of tho set to employ the land and naval forces of tho United States for 'the purpose of preventing the carrying n'of any such expeditions or enterprises from the territories or jurisdiction of the United States against the territories or domain of any foreign prince or Stato, or of any colony, district, or people, with whom the United States are at peace. For these reasons, bad Commodore Tauld- 185S. ing intercepted tho steamer Fashion, with Gen. Walker and his command on board, at any penou uciore tnoy entered the port of Han Juan do Nicaragua, and conducted them back to Aiobilo, ho would havo prevented them from carrying on the expedition, and have been not only a justifiable but a praiseworthy act. Tho crime well deserves tho scvoro punishment inflicted upon It by our laws. It violates tho principles of Christianity, morality, and Immunity, held sacred by ajl tho civilized nations, and by nono inoro than by tho people of tho United States. Disguise it ns we may. such a military ox. pedition is an invitation to reckless and lawless mon to enlist under tho banner of any adventurer to rob. nlundor. and murder tbo nn. offending citizens of neighboring Slates who havo never done them barm, it is "onusur-pation of the war-makinc rower which Im. longs alono to Congress; and tho Government at least in the estimation of the world, becomes an accomplice in the commission of this crime, unless it adopts all the means necessary to prevent and punish it. It would bo Inr belter, and moro in accordance with tho Imhl and manly character of ourcountrynien.for tho uuiviuuiuiii. iisuu 10 get up sucu expeditions, than to allow them to proceed under the com. maud or irresponsible adventureis. Wo cq'd then, at lonst, exercise some control over our own agency, and prevent them from burning down cities and committing olherocts of enor-mity of which we have read. Tho avowed principle wliich lies at the foundation of tho law of nations is contained in tho Divine command, that all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Tried by this unerring rule wo should bo severely condemned if we shall not uso tho best exertions to arrest such . peditions against our feeble sister Republic of . icarugiia. ' One thing is very certain that the pcoplo never existed who would call any other nation to a stricter account than wo should ourselves, for tolerating lawless expeditions from their shores to make war upon any portion of our territories. By tolera'ing such expeditions, wo shall soon lose the high character which we havo .enjoyed ever sinco tho days of Washington for tho frithful performance of international obligations and duties, and inspire distrust, against us omonc the of tho great family of civilized nations. ' lint it motive ol duty were not sufficient to restrain us from engaging in such lawless enterprises, evident interest ought to dictate this policy. Theso expeditions aro tho most effectual made of retarding American progress, although to promote is the avowed object of the leaders and contributors in such undertakings.It is, beyond quesiion, the destiny of our race to spread themselves over tho continent of North America, ai d this at no distant day, should events be permitted to tako their nut-ural course ; the tide ol emigration will flow to: tho South and North, and nothing can eventually arrest its progress, if permitted to go there peacofully. - Central Amorica will soon contain an American population, which will confer blessings and benefits, as well up. on the natives as their respective governments Liberty, under the restraints of law, will pro-servo domestic peace, whilst tho different transit routes across tho Isthmus in which wo are so deeply interested will have assured pro-cction.Nothing has retarded this happy condition or affairs so much as tho unlawful expeditions wliich havo boon fitted out in the United States to make war upon tho Central Ameri can citizons who havo miserably perished in the first disastrous expedition of Gen. Walker, j settled in Nicaragua us neaccfnl mni.mi.ti' i tho object which we all desire would ere this havo been in a great degree accomplished. i nese expeditions have caused tho people of uiu M-uirui jiiuoneiin states to regard us wiih dread and suspicion. It is our policy to remove this apprehension and conviueo them that weinlond to do them good and not evil. We desiro, as tho leading power on this continent, to open, and, if need bo, to protect every transit routo across Iho Isthmus, not only for our own benefit, but that of tho world, and thus open a frco access to Central Amorica, and through it to our Pacific possessions. This pjlicy was commenced under favorable auspices, when tho expedition under tho commrnd ol Gen. Walker escaped from our territories, and proceeded to Puntas Arenas. Should anothcrcxpedition ofa similar character again evade the vigilance of our nlli,.nr and proceed to Nicaragua this would bo fahil, ut least for a season, to tho ucaeuful seiiln. ment of thoso countries, and to the policy of American progress. The truth is. no Admin istration can successfully conduct the foreign affairs of tho country, in Central America or any whoro else, if it is to be interfered with at every step by lawless military expeditions set on lout in tho United States. JAMES BUCHANAN. January 7, 1853. Qccchcrlsm ou tho Hi-.o1 We find tho following under tho head of Brooklyn items, in tho local columns of tlio New York Tribune of tho 7th: Annual Pkw Rkntixci .t Mr. Beecikii's Church. The powsof the Plymouth congregational Church, Brooklyn, of which tho Rev. Henry W arc! Ucecher is pastor, wore publicly ren:ed, on Tuesday evening, for tho ensuing yonr. A largo nuuibcrof persons wore present, sufficient to fill three fourths of the house, and the occasion was one of no little animation ami interest from the friendly comiictition of pur chasers. According to tho modo of renting which is pursued, the pews throughout the entire building (with the exception ofa frco second gallery,) have a specified valuation, determined from year lo year by tho Trustees ; and the choice of pews is sold at auction, to the highest bidder for a premium above the rent I Tho scale of valuation this year wss only a trifle higher than last, but the amount of premiums, notwithstanding the hardness of tho times, roso one third byhtr than at any former piriod in the history of the church. Nearly ovory pew in tho building (with the single exception mentioned) brought a premium or an extra sum for the privilege of the choice ; in addition to wliich many of the chairs that have been recently introduced into the aisles wore sold at a premium, and a still larger number rented at their nssoseJ rate. 1 he lnghest pri ced pews or thoso valued at $100 or more, were about twenty in number, bringing an av erage premium of between $ 10 snd $ jO. The the highest premium Soo. 1 he total number 1 . . . . . ' .... . ' . : of pows in tho house, exclusivoof tho free gal- lery,is 208, which wero assessed last year to the aggregate amount of $H,UHO, and this year to $12,U00 ; on which the total atqount of premi- urns last year was S J.lnJ! ncretfed this year to $1,250. On Tue-ulay night the pows were so readily laltcn that alter the public sale was ovsr, it was found that out of the en- a re number assessed to a total of $12,00, only ti very few, to the value of less than $200, were without purchasers; and yesterday these were mostly taken and a large number of api li- NO. 10. cants ineml wore unable to obtain sittings. The membership of Plymouth Church was novor so largo as at the present, ami the si.a of the congregation remains undiminished. ' The building admits of an audience of about three thousand persons, yet it is not an uncommon occurronco, on a pleasent Sunday evening, to sco fully as largo a number as this go away from tho church door, unnblo to got evenstanding-room within the walls. Senator DoukIiiV Lamt Chance, Tho Richmond South of Saturday, speaking for tho party which enjoys exclusivo control of the President and his policy, closes an arti- clo on the Kansas question by offering the fol lowing alternative to tlio rebellious Senator from Illinois ; " Whatovcrmaybo thought, on thissurvor. of tho ominous import of the Kansas contro versy as it affects the peace of tho Union, we must admit that it has assumed the phase of all others most favorable to the interests of the South. Tho question is narrowed dowu to the siinplo alternative of peace or violence of law or ruffianism of a submission to the authority of a legitimate government or a resort te revolution. It is impossible to evade the issue. Senator Douglas will vainly essay to escape u:;der tho cover of nn 'enabling bill.' The expedient is too late, for Kansas is no longer a territory it is a sovereign State. Whoie will Senator Douglas go? Will ho unite with the traitors of Kansas rather than agree to (head-mission of another Slave Stato? Or, will he espouse tho interests of law nnd justice at tho sacrifice of his sympathy with black Republi- cansism ? Ho must make tho olectioii it once."
